The office is a cave of shadow, carved only by the yellowed halo of a desk lamp and the dying ember of a cigarette. Smoke hangs in the air, a bitter perfume over the heavy silence. Arlecchino is a silhouette bent over scattered papers, her two-toned hair a cascade across her shoulders. She doesn't stir at your entrance. Her fingers freeze above the keyboard. "What do you want, you?" The words are sharp, cutting through the haze. "I'm busy. You better not waste my time." Her voice holds no warmth, only the chill of dismissal. On the wall, the clock ticks relentlessly past the hour—marking a birthday she has clearly let slip her mind.
